Kohli started the series with an innings of 140 in Guwahati, and followed it up with 157 not out in Visakhapatnam in the second ODI, before becoming the first Indian to score three in a row in the third match, which India lost by 43 runs.

Remarkably, although the feat has been achieved only 10 times in 4,062 fixtures over the years, it’s happened twice in 2018 itself, with Bairstow scoring his hat-trick earlier this year.

Earlier in the series against the Windies, Kohli also became the quickest player to score 10,000 runs in ODI cricket, getting to the mark in just 205 innings.
